About this Event

Emily Forland has been an agent at Brandt & Hochman Literary Agents in NYC for over ten years; previously, she was an agent at The Wendy Weil Agency. She represents a wide variety of literary fiction and narrative nonfiction, including prize winners and book club picks, and has a special place in her heart for distinctive writing that jumps off the page.

Nathan Hill’s best-selling debut novel, The Nix, was named the #1 book of the year by Audible and Entertainment Weekly, and one of the year’s best books by The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, Slate, and many others. It was the winner of the Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction from the Los Angeles Times, and was a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist for Best Debut. Nathan’s second novel, Wellness, was also a New York Times bestseller and was picked by Oprah Winfrey for her book club. It was selected as one of the best books of the year by NPR, Amazon, Audible, The Times, and others. His books have been published worldwide in more than two dozen languages. In France, Wellness was the winner of the prestigious Grand Prix of American Literature, as well as the Book of the Year prize from the Deauville Film Festival.

The Elliston Poetry Room is located in Suite 646 on the 6th Floor of Langsam Library on the UC Uptown Campus at 2911 Woodside Drive, Cincinnati, OH 45221.
